I think it would be better if he just made the guys that usually finish 5th-12th cheaper (currently arround 16 to 22 pts). Then you'd actually be able to maybe build a competitive team without being forced to blow more than two thirds of the budget on two riders.
However, this might cause a problem in races where the big boys don't appear and the top dogs are the 2nd/3rd tier guys. Honestly, this whole problem exists because of the fixed prices for every race.
